Ani-MeTV Saturday mornings

[Figuremod73]

I actually think the 2002 series is much better written BUT the character designs, voice actors, and animation (speaking animation style but not the limited animation) is much better in the original.
Who here would choose the newer design or the original?

I love a lot of 80's toons but HE-man was a toon to sell toys and for the most part sucked pretty bad.....

In your opinion.

Lots of 60s and 70s cartoons I don't care for but have never felt the need to tell people that like them that the shows sucked. Again, it seems to be a generational thing of the 60s and 70s kids needing to put down the 80s toons.

Meh, some 60s and 70s kids tend to like to bash the 80s toons. Makes 'em feel big.

I really enjoyed Transformers for the most part. There was a lot of animation mistakes in it though that I think may have been a contributing factor to it being cancelled in the U.S. in the fourth season.

Wasnt into G.I. Joe. I think its because I couldnt get pass them just shooting in the general direction of each other. I was really into the comicbook series. Much better than the cartoon, imo.

Heathcliff was great, I like Marveduke as well. Definately no second stringer to Garfield.

Rather have had the barbarian to. As a whole I liked the cartoon. Looking back, I think newer cartoons should have remained on saturday mornings and had the older stuff in afternoons. Just for the sake of keeping saturday mornings "special".

Most think that the Thundercats cartoon was much better. My only complaint about it was the music was somewhat distracting.

Hated Thundercats!!!! I did like GI joe ,Transformers and HE Man,Inspector Gadget, Heathcliff

As a kid, I got the first few figures with the post apocalypse barbarian He-Man booklets, saw dudes with axes and guns, and was pretty stoked. When the cartoon came out I was presented with a beefy metrosexual in a pageboy cut telling me to stay in school and eat my vegetables.... THAT'S why the hate. For me, anyhoo.

Wow I was the same I had the first wave of figures thought they were awesome....then the cartoon came and Filmation really did some cost cutting with that.....lost total interest after that... She-Ra was worse.......

....and I think the reason older cartoons, especially from the 80's seem so much better is volume. There were SO MANY bad cartoons back then, but the sheer numbers meant you'd eventually stumble on SOMETHING you liked. Everything else was forgotten.

Nothing wrong with He-Man IMO...

[Werewolf]

I'll never understand the hate for filmations He-man and She-ra but I guess thats because I watched them when I was little.

I love 80s toons. He-Man and She-Ra are awesome.

Sharry RTV still has a better Retro Saturday morning line up then METV

Fat Albert
Ghostbusters Live version Filmation 1975
The Archies
Bravestarr
He-Man
She-Ra
and then they play Dick Tracy and Mr Magoo between them

Our affiliate only plays RTV from 10am -10pm. I can't even watch Wolfman Mac anymore! GGRRRR!

And my fave Mr. Magoo is "What's New Mr. Magoo?" that used to come on Saturday mornings after Space Academy.

I love seeing heman and shera on METV but sadly since it's on so early I doubt I will see many of them. I do plan on buying the series on DVD at some point.

RTV Plays them both Saturday mornings too! and not so early

Even tho I am a kid of the 70's there isn't much toon-wise from then that I can still take. Give me 60's HB and Filmation stuff anyday.
